Conservative Firebrand Hints At 2016 Presidential Run

[Webster]

Time: Ben Carson Gives More Hints at Presidential Bid

Conservative firebrand Ben Carson said Monday that “the likelihood is strong” that he’ll run for president in 2016.

The author and retired neurosurgeon told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt that he would make up his mind before May of next year. “Unless the American people indicate in November that they like big government intervention in every part of their lives, I think the likelihood is strong,” Carson said. The untested figure would face an uphill battle reaching out to moderate Republicans and swing voters.

Carson rose to the national prominence in 2013 when he eviscerated President Barack Obama’s tax policies and the Affordable Care Act while delivering remarks at the bipartisan National Prayer Breakfast. He has built a considerable following in conservative circles with a number of political action committees, including a new super PAC announced last week named “USA First.”

Carson told Hewitt he believes he can hold his own in a Republican field likely to be dominated by more experienced politicians from Washington and statehouses across the country, like New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Sen. Marco Rubio. ” I’ve been talking all of my life,” he said. “And I will continue to talk. You know, I will never be a politician. I will tell you that right of the bat.”

Carson has won or finished near the top of several conservative straw polls, and a “National Draft Ben Carson for President Committee” has raised more than $7 million, though much of the money has found its way into the pockets of GOP operatives.

...oh, that's all we need, another conservative talking head grifter running for president in 2016...

Doesn't matter how many people run, only one is gonna win it!

And the way the current electoral map's looked the past two presidential cycles, it probably won't be a Republican either, thank heavens.

Given how far the Republican Party has veered to the right since the rise of the grassroots astroturfed Tea Party movement, good luck getting those moderate & swing voters....good luck indeed.

 

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

So far from what I have read and heard from the man I would vote for him and finally sleep well at night knowing I did not have to compromise with the crappy choices of Rhinos like Mitt. Finally a real right wing true conservative to run for president in god knows how many decades. Not the fake republicans like the bushes who do not represent anything republican or conservative for the most part.

But if this guy runs I am afraid Carson becomes my second choice.

Oh god, how I wish that was true!

I'll be on pins and needles waiting for May to come, praying the whole way that Carson decides he WILL run for President. Dare I hope that we'd get so lucky?

Can you imagine a guy who actually will not divide the races being our president. A guy with true intelligence instead of some made up cult of personality. When you actually look at these two side by side it is striking what a piece of garbage our dear leader is and has been raised by.

I have said before and will say it again. My bucket list is to get old and out live Obama (no violence intended before all you leftists call the secret service) so I can literally go piss on his grave for the damage he has done to this nation.

Where've you been the past few years in regards to the GOP's far-right tilt of late?

What far right tilt? If that was the case the government would still be shut down until obama care was repealed. We would have a balanced budget and we would have cuts all through out government where we were spending less then we are taking in. And the borders would be secured and illegals would be deported by bus loads. What we have now is a few Tea Party member being a itch in the side of the fake republicans holding office. Now put in a few more Mike Lee's and Ted Cruz's and then there is a tilt.

Sounds good to me. A president who can't be bought. And Carson also.

For starters, just look at the seats y'all have lost over the past few years; by my count, Republicans should've won Seante seats in Delaware, Indiana, Colorado and Nevada but instead lost those seats by nominating ideologically pure candidates who, while they could win in the primary, couldn't do squat come November. By rights, Republicans should be in control of the Senate now, not on the cusp of it atm...

On balanced budgets...correct me if I'm wrong, Liberty, but unless I'm mistaken, it was during Bill Clinton's administration (a Democratic administration) that we last saw a balanced budget (and budget surpluses, too!)...both of which got squandered by the administration of George Bush Dick Cheney....

On the borders...let me clear about that: if it comes down to either defending a broken immigration system, Liberty vs. protecting illegals...I'm sorry, I'll protect the illegals first.

As for Messrs. Frick & Frack....remind me again what they've done to deserve the respect of Americans?

Nice to have an absolute wide eyed true believing die hard liberal back in the mix.

He's too young to have had his dearest ideals smashed to bits by the Learjet Dems who are Just Like Us on TV then scoot off to the Hamptons or spend a weekend at the Bohemian Grove with the Rich and Famous.


But, that'll come.

Also note. There is a significant difference between a Firebrand and a Lightning Rod.

The gentleman above may well be the former. People like Debbie Wasserman Schultz for the Left and, well, Ann Coulter will do for the Right, are the latter.

And we had a balanced budget because the republicans shut down the government forcing Clinton to sign a bill he wanted no part of. That dirt bag had nothing to do with it except fearing his approval rating going down the toilet.

And the seats we lost were weak candidates and not ideologically pure. I would rather lose every election hear on out and let the country go into a fast free fall instead of this painful slow death then elect another rhino fake republican ever again.

Why the insistence on ideologically pureness, Liberty?
Afraid the GOP will actually attract voters to its' side once more?

Because liberal thinking and half ass liberal thinking meaning todays republicans have brought us the misery we see in America today. Republicans are supposed to be the Constitution followers but for the most part they are no better then the democrats as using it like toilet paper.

So no its just the opposite I would like to attract voters. The republicans are going to win the House and Senate but unless we have real people who believe in following the constitution instead being dumb ass aisle crossers it really is not going to be much different then what we had. When we have republicans hold strong on a constitutional amendment for a balanced budget. Getting rid of Obama Care and not let go securing our borders and removing illegals then I will know once again we really have a two pary system once again.

This fits for both parties Except for just a few I can count on my fingers.

Sen. Rand Paul (R., Ky.) summarized liberals’ love of crushing choice: “It’s light bulbs. It’s toilets. It’s cars. You name it. Your freedom of choice is gone. For a party that says they are the pro-choice party, this is the most anti-choice administration we’ve seen in a lifetime.”

Democrats often call themselves “pro-choice.” Republicans defend “freedom.” Unfortunately, neither party really believes in letting individuals do what we want.

When Democrats say they are “pro-choice,” they are talking about abortion. Some act as if a right to legal abortion is the most important freedom in America.

But Democrats aren’t very enthusiastic about other kinds of choice. They don’t want you to have the right to choose your kids’ school, work without joining a union, buy a gun, pay people whatever you contract to pay them if they choose to work for you, buy things you want to buy without regulations constantly interfering and so on.

Newsflash: most every good thing of note that's happened in America - voting rights, civil rights, workers' rights, a strong middle class, etc. - came from the liberal side of the political ledger, not the conservative side...and God help us all if the Tea Party ever gets its' hands on all the levers of power in this country.

Thats not even close to true. In fact its the exact opposite. But it made for a good laugh.
